Lethal Weapon 3

Sergeant Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs are wrapping up their final days before retirement. They unexpectedly fail to disarm a bomb at a local office building, which quickly leads to unforeseen consequences for their career.

As a consequence of the failed bomb disarmament, Murtaugh and Riggs are demoted. They are assigned to patrol the streets of Los Angeles, undergoing a sudden change from detectives to mere enforcers.

During a routine patrol, Murtaugh and Riggs witness an audacious theft of an armored car. They chase the vehicle, with Delores behind the wheel, quickly realizing that they have stumbled onto something bigger.

After pursuing leads from the armored car theft, the duo stumbles upon a critical suspect who introduces them to Jack Travis, a former LAPD officer turned arms smuggler. This revelation sets them on a dangerous path of criminal investigation.

The police department is thrown into chaos upon discovering that the stolen equipment includes armor-piercing bullets. Murtaugh and Riggs feel the pressure as they race against time to locate Travis before more damage occurs.

After making strides in their investigation, Murtaugh and Riggs are reinstated and pair up with Sergeant Lorna Cole from internal affairs. This new alliance strengthens their combined efforts to take down the elusive Jack Travis.

While Murtaugh and Riggs focus on Travis, he engages in shady deals with mob boss Tyrone. The situation escalates when one of the armored car thieves meets an untimely demise due to Travis's ruthless methods.

Travis uses his former police credentials to infiltrate an interrogation room, successfully preventing a suspect from disclosing valuable information. This manipulation highlights Travis's cunning nature and deepens the conflict.

During a tense hockey game, Riggs, Murtaugh, and Getz face a perilous situation when Getz becomes a target in a crossfire. In the chaos, he provides a vital tip about a warehouse connected to Travis's criminal activities.

A local drug deal leads to Murtaugh apprehending an armed offender, only to discover the assailant is connected to his son, Nick. This strikes a deep emotional chord, complicating Murtaugh's role as a father and a cop.

Riggs and Cole share an intimate moment that blossoms into a romantic relationship. However, their newfound connection is quickly overshadowed by the grim realities of their ongoing investigation.

Murtaugh attends the funeral of Darryl, the connected assailant, where Darryl's father implores him to seek justice. This strengthens Murtaugh's resolve as he grapples with the consequences of their actions.

Cole uncovers that an arms shipment meant for destruction had been stolen from police evidence. This revelation links Travis further to the crime and underlines the severity of their pursuit.

In a dramatic raid on Travis's operations, Murtaugh, Riggs, and Cole face intense gunfire. Riggs strategically sets the construction site ablaze, resulting in high casualties among Travis's crew as they work to close in on him.

In the aftermath of their harrowing pursuit, Murtaugh makes a surprising announcement against his retirement plans, while Getz reveals his love for Cole. The moment encapsulates the bittersweet conclusions and fresh starts in their lives.
